If a person's concept of God requires that He comply with his own sense of time, space, matter/energy, physical laws and the laws of logic - then he would have a very reduced concept of God, a small 'god' of his own imagination, a false god his mortal mind could comprehend. An excellent insight. Any view of God which is perfectly comprehensible and non-mysterious to the human mind, is almost by that very fact wrong or at least gravely incomplete. It almost always ends up with an understanding of God that makes him little more than an idealized, perfected human being; a "superman" of sorts.
God is infinitely more than any being like that could even pretend to be.

Thank you so very much for your encouragements, dear brother in Christ, but you said it a lot better than I.

excellent -- and that is what is Hinduism, where their gods are now comic book superheroes (I kid you not, google "Little Ganesha" or "Bhim"), super powered individuals who are still subject to human behavior and capriciousness
